New post. New thoughts.

Posted in Pop Culture by

Hi everyone. Sorry I haven’t had much time to devote to this blog recently: a journalist’s job is never done, as I’ve been crazy busy with homework, class projects and everything thing else I’ve overcommitted myself to. (But, I sort of love my life that way.)

I thought I’d just sit in ramble for today’s post. Just talk.

What’s been happening since I last posted?

  1. George Clooney is officially off-the-market and married an amazing high-profile human rights lawyer.
  2. I’ve become obsessed with “Once Upon a Time” AND “How to Get Away With Murder.” As well as, “Manhattan Love Story,” “A to Z,” “Red Band Society”  and of course, Greys and Scandal. Great shows, start watching. (I mean, #TGIT, anyone?)
  3. The whole Ebola news thing everyone should be aware of is big news.
  4. Applying to study and intern in NYC this summer and London this fall. (Dream: to intern at a publication like Seventeen. Fingers crossed!)
  5. I interviewed a major YouTube star (“HelloKaty”) and wrote a profile on that. Read it here.
  6. One Direction announced the track list for their fourth studio album, “Four.”
  7. Neil Patrick Harris will host the 2015 Oscars.
  8. Taylor Swift’s new pop album “1989” will be released any day now. And “Out of the Woods” may be inspired by a Mr. Harry Styles.
  9. Everyone’s been obsessing over “American Horror Story” which stars my camp alum, Emma Roberts.
  10. The Kansas City Royals will officially be playing in World Series. (GO CARDINALS!)

One thing I’ve noticed about the world: is such a huge focus on the superficial sides. And while, I love fashion and celeb gossip, I admit that’s not what matters: family, doing what you love, etc– that’s what matters, not what you wear or how popular you are, it’s how you perceive yourself and who you want to be. No one can belittle who you are or tell you who to be except for yourself. Be brave, be strong, be yourself. Because no one else for stick up for yourself other than you.

I just wish more girls, and people in general, would be able to be 100 percent themselves and not worry about how others perceive them. So, if you want to wear a certain outfit or attain for a certain career: go for it. Chase your dreams. Be a superstar. Be amazing. You are amazing. You don’t need anyone else to tell you that. Your opinion is the only one that matters.

Alright, I’m off to watch Greys, Scandal and the Cardinal game, as well as work on some essays. Thanks for reading. xx

1D Update

Okay, yes. I’m a One Direction fan. There music is exactly the type I like to listen to.

And guess what, fellow directioners? A new album is coming, November 14 to be exact. And it’s titled “Four.” I have no idea why it’s named that, but I hope it has a symbolic meaning, other than it’s the fourth album, because that’s not clever.

Follow the link below and you can pre-order the album and hear an exclusive track, “Fireproof.” I have no idea where this track came from, certainly not from the 1D we knew from the past three albums. But, it’s good. More mature. Maybe too mature for the 13-year-old fans, but for the college-aged fans like moi, it’s clear we’re the target demo.

Celebs spotted: One Direction

Posted in Pop Culture by

On July 21, I read an article on Buzzfeed, http://www.buzzfeed.com/lyapalater/this-is-how-the-boys-of-one-direction-dress-for-a-wedding#, and being a 1D fan, I knew I had to blog about it (excuse the late post), I mean, I’ve even seen them live in concert last year– such a great moment.

So, back to the article. Louis’ mum (he’s British, I had to.) recently got married, and most of his bandmates were in attendance. Also there, his girlfriend Eleanor Calder who posed as a bridesmaid by the looks of it. (Such a fashion icon herself.)

Here’s Louis rocking a blue suit.

And Niall sporting a perfectly tailored navy suit and rockin’ some Ray-Bans.

And Liam was there too.

And then, there’s Harry. (Always a “trendsetter” that one…)

We’ve all seen the boys rock their signature boy band style from tours, interviews, and music videos, but wedding attire is completely different for the X Factor band.

I have a wedding coming up soon, and what I wouldn’t give to have one of these boys as a plus one (not to mention they’ll literally be in my hometown TWO days prior.)
